It's hard to remember a better night at the Winter Olympics U.S. viewers had on Tuesday night. Can Wednesday possibly live up to the thrill? Let's look back at what happened on Tuesday in Pyeongchang and look ahead to what's in store for primetime coverage on Wednesday night.

Fox News yanked an online column about the Winter Olympics, written by longtime Fox News executive John Moody, in which he blasts the U.S. Olympics Committee, saying it would like to change the Olympics motto from ‘Faster, Higher, Stronger’ to ‘Darker, Gayer, Different.'” “If your goal is to win medals, that won’t work,” Moody complained in the column, that was posted Wednesday and pulled Friday around 10:30 AM PT, after getting blasted “If your goal is to win medals, that won’t work,” Moody complained in the column, which was posted Wednesday and pulled Friday around 10:30 AM PT after getting blasted on Twitter and in statements issued by various human rights organizations.

A thrilling day on the track also saw big developments outside of competition. Post to Facebook. Things went awfully well for the U.S. women's track and field team on Wednesday . Best images from Aug. 17 at the Rio Olympics . Fullscreen.

Now that Wednesday , Valentine's Day , is upon us, however, we've got you covered with everything else Around the Web Promoted by Taboola. Our Latest Stories. 2018 Olympics : How, who to watch Tuesday. If you missed Shaun White in the halfpipe on Tuesday night , here's what you missed .

Snowboard: "What did I miss," you ask? Oh, not much. Just the world's best Winter Olympic athlete putting together a thrilling, pressure-packed, hold-your-breath, text your friends, wake up your daughter with your uncontrollable shouting snowboard run that won him a record-setting, walk-off gold medal. You know; NBD.

No hyperbole; this was the best Winter Olympics moment for Team USA since Dan Jansen won gold in 1994. BTW, Jansen's gold that night was the 50th ever won by the U.S. team. White's was No. 100.

Skiing: There was some movement on the skiing front Wednesday. Instead of immediately postponing the women's slalom, the FIS announced a few delays and then pulled the plug. Progress? I've yet to hear the plan for what happens if we get to the weekend without a race but it won't be good. The weather is allegedly supposed to improve though.

Ice hockey: Team USA made its men's debut on Wednesday night and things went well - for about 45 minutes. But a 2-0 lead was quickly erased, with Slovenia getting the equalizer with 90 seconds left and going on to win in overtime. The Americans hadn't lost their first Olympic game since 1998.

Snowboard: Just watch it again. It's that awesome.

And as Bill Belichick said on Wednesday , “I think we’re all excited to get started.” For those who couldn’t make it down to Foxborough, here’s everything you missed : New England’s loyal fanbase is back. Eager to watch their team take the practice fields

What to watch

Skiing: We're supposed to see a double feature on Wednesday night with both the men's downhill (9:30 p.m. ET) and ladies' giant slalom (final run at 11:45 p.m. ET) on the schedule. Don't get your hopes up. At this rate, they're just going to put the men's downhill on the bunny slope. If the races do happen, look for Mikaela Shiffrin to contend for gold in her 2018 Olympic debut. The 22-year-old could be on the cusp of the most prolific Winter Games ever for an American skier. The men's downhill has no Americans in contention, but that's no reason not to watch the fastest event in Pyeongchang.

Cross country: This is a big one. Jessica Diggins of Afton, MN will try and become the first American to ever medal in a cross country skiing event. Oddsmakers list her as the third favorite with 12/1 odds of winning gold. This goes at 1 a.m. ET (Thursday morning). If you have the means, I highly recommend it.

Figure skating: The pairs have their free skate, with China owning a slight lead over Russia. (I'm done saying Olympic Athletes from Russia. They're Russian. Deal with it.) Canada's team of Meagan Duhamel and Eric Radford is still in striking distance of gold and well positioned for a medal. The U.S. team - married couple Alexa Scimeca Knierim and Chris Knierim - qualified in 14th place out of 16 teams.

Alex Ovechkin takes shot at Gary Bettman over Olympics

The landscape of Olympic hockey looks a lot different in PyeongChang than it looked four years ago, and that is largely because the NHL decided it will not allow its players to compete in the Winter Games.&nbsp;Ovechkin, who has spoken in the past about how important winning an Olympic medal would be to him, was asked on Tuesday if he has been watching the Olympics. He used the opportunity to take a shot at NHL commissioner Gary Bettman.

Here’s what you missed in the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang while you were sleeping. The Canadians played a second game early Wednesday morning ( Wednesday night , Korea time) against Great Britain and were off to an early lead of 4-2 after five ends.

Luge - It's the final day of luge competition and the always enjoyable team relay that finishes up an exciting week on the track. And by "always" I mean "in 2014, the first time it was ever contested at an Olympics" and by "enjoyable" I mean "watch a sport timed by thousandths decided by seconds by four Germans." Next time, Germany should be allowed to enter unlimited team into the event, just to see how many places the luge giant could sweep. I'm thinking top seven.

Oskars Gudramovics and Peteris Kalnins of Latvia make a run during the Luge Doubles on Feb. 14 in Pyeongchang-gun, South Korea.

US won't rule out Olympics talks with North Korea

Vice President Mike Pence or other US officials might meet with North Koreans at the Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang next week, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said Monday. Washington has previously said it won't seek to initiate contact with North Koreans attending the South Korean games, but it does want talks with Kim Jong-Un in an effort to get him to abandon his nuclear program.Asked during a visit to Peru whether Pence might accept an invitation to meet the North Korea delegation, Tillerson – who is pushing for a diplomatic solution to the crisis – would not rule it out.

That means four races in the next two days . We’ll hopefully see Shiffrin in giant slalom Wednesday night (8 p.m. Eastern time first run, 11:45 second run). See the “ What to Watch ” section for details. Below is the medal count at the time of publishing.
